Installing MySQL onto my computer.

[zanardi]

Hi, Currently im running Apache and Active perl on my computer. But I would like to get MySQL and PHP so I can start learning some PHP and Database programing. My question is where can I get them. Do I need anything else to run with them. And possibly help installing them.

i am also going to learn php/mysql and downloaded and installed http://www.nusphere.com which installed apache, mysql, php4, perl, webmin on my windows 98SE pc all in one setup file :D

Ok, im downloading that package deal eva2000 (your name looks fimilar :p) and im currently on 13.7 Megs, and my question is does anyone know how big this file is becuase I cannot find out, it doesn't tell on their page or on the download window.

It ~24MB

Yeah if I would've known that I would've probably not downloaded it. But I did and now I have PHP and MySQL :D

Ok, here's a problem. I can run CGI scripts in my cgi-bin the the apache directory. However when I try to run HTML files it get a 500. So I moved my stuff to my htdocs folder, changed some stuff in the httd.conf file. And now when I try to run CGi scripts from there the windows download thing comes up tring to DL the file not execute it :p
